Functions Overview

• With BackupChanges one can specify files that need to be copied into archive. Typically, it is enough to specify the source folder and nothing else. There are also many options to fine-tune the backup, for instance, user can specify the include and exclude file mask. Resulted files will be packed into archive, so there is also an option to specify how to keep files in archive, e.g. using relative path or absolute path.
• As the program focuses on changed and new files niche, there is a possibility to specify the time period for which changed files should be copied to archive. The easiest way is to use some predefined intervals, for instance for last 3 days. If necessary, the precise date and time interval can be specified. The predefined choices include minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years.
• Resulted file archive is a zip file, which can be managed with any popular archiving software or server-based file manager. The name of resulted file can be generated automatically using the source folder name and date/time stamp. As for destination directory user have an opportunity to add more than one record. This is useful, if the changed files should be sent to flash-drive for emergency backup, to hard drive for long-term backup and a copy to the desktop, for future uploading online or sending to co-worker.
• All these features might sound complicated to use every day, so there is one extremely useful feature. Once user fine tuned the backup project as needed, the batch file can be generated. Next time the user will need a backup, he or she will simply run the batch file. All necessary parameters will be passed to the program automatically. In this way managing new or changed files is as easy as one click.
